Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Standard Lens, especially its superb image quality and pleasing bokeh effect. Many appreciate its low light performance, ease of use, and lightweight design, making it a great value for the price. Some users have noted occasional autofocus issues. Overall, the lens is well-regarded for its ability to create a shallow depth of field.

    My Nikon D750 kit included a great telephoto lens but I wanted a fixed prime lens too. This 50 mm does the job for most casual photography without the price of the 35 mm lens.

    This lens has been great for many different uses. Portraits and outdoors photos have came out clear. It would be nice if it had a zoom but it hasn't been that much of an inconvenience

    Great beginner macro lens for the price. Low light performance isn't as good as the 50mm 1.8 or 35mm 1.8 for the price, but still does a great job and the minimum focus distance can't be beat.

    This lens works great for taking portrait pictures. Not good for movement but that’s not what it’s for. Definitely recommend for portrait photography.

    50mm f/1.8g is probably the best prime lens I have used! fast and accurate focusing along with a silent motor that you can barely hear.
